My OB told me not to in the first trimester because all the chemicals may affect the growing bub, but 2nd and 3rd tri he is more relaxed about it. Pity he told me this yesterday, I got my hair coloured when I was about 8 weeks. Oh well, I think most of the chemicals they use now are pretty safe!

there are soooo many threads on this.

hair colour is fine, just beware that it may react differently with ur skin and scalp when ur pregnant. also the fumes can make u a little sick..

i would rather do a home job and sit outside while someone did it. just my preferance atm.

HTH... btw im a hairdresser

I have coloured my hair all threw my pregancies and none of my children have 3 eyes or two heads.

i didnt know weather this was safe or not so for my own piece of mind i waited until I was about 12 weeks. I friend is a hairdresser and didnt say anything about me colouring my hair. I guess it comes to personel choice and what feels right for you.

I read in a pregnancy/parenting magazine that it's fine! as long as you aren't doing it all the time..... only when you really need to.

Also, wait til 2nd trimester..... I did

I just remembered when i coloured my hair when pregnant with DD i found it didn't come out the colour it was suppose to and it also washed out pretty quick. I've heard this can happen a lot as your hormones change your hair and how it reacts to the dye.
